About Pentatonix

Pentatonix, the Grammy Award-winning a cappella quintet, has redefined the boundaries of vocal music since their formation in 2011. Hailing from Arlington, Texas, the group comprises Scott Hoying (baritone lead), Mitch Grassi (tenor lead), Kirstin Maldonado (mezzo-soprano lead), Kevin Olusola (beatboxer), and Matt Sallee (bass). Their journey began with a victory on the third season of NBC’s The Sing-Off, which propelled them into the global spotlight. Since then, they have cultivated a devoted international fanbase, driven by their innovative approach to covers and their increasingly sophisticated original material.

Their breakthrough came with their self-titled debut album in 2015, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Pentatonix are celebrated for their ability to take popular songs across a vast array of genres – from pop and rock to R&B and even country – and reimagine them with complex vocal arrangements that are both breathtakingly intricate and incredibly catchy. Their arrangements often feature layered harmonies, ingenious vocal percussion, and dynamic shifts that mimic the instrumentation of full bands.

Notable hits that have cemented their status include their show-stopping, barbershop quartet-style cover of “Hallelujah,” their energetic rendition of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky,” and their uplifting original song “Can’t Sleep Love.” They are also famous for their captivating Christmas albums and singles, such as the ubiquitous “Mary, Did You Know?” and their modern classic “That’s Christmas to Me.” Their discography boasts multiple platinum-certified albums and singles, alongside numerous awards, including three Grammy Awards.
